Default Making annoying noises

My cars making some odd noises and i just have no idea what the are..

One is a squeaking noise that to me sounds like it is coming from my brakes or tires or something. When moving 20mph or less i hear it every 1 second just squeak squeak squeak... almost like something might be rubbing on something on the tire and when it is done with a circle and rubs against it it squeaks not sure tho..

other noise is a rattling noise coming from under the car maybe something to do with the exhaust not sure though. just is rattling alot but it rattles when car is in park and still running so i think something may be loose on my exhaust?

any ideas?

A lot of brake pads have sqeakers on them, and when they need to be changed they will start so squeak like mad..they are designed to be annoying for your "safty" bla bla lol..and as for the rattle..crawl under your car when it's cooled off and try to wiggle the muffler or exhaust pipe, if it moves alot..that's probably your problem.

The first noise, I would suspect either a worn wheel bearing, or perhaps a warped rotor. The second one, I would crawl under the car, as Dubyah said, and inspect for loose parts.

could be the e brake is adjusted wrong and is draging. check to see if something is rubbing on the driveshaft like the e brake cable.
